Bilingual
My dad, he worked at the movie lab
Well, that's me, you see
He was the guy who kept the cobwebs off Sophia Loren
Every morning at five, he'd get up and go to work
Wearing his name across the pocket of his shirt
My mother told me out back of that place
There was a shack
And every chance he could
He'd slip out there and bow his head
While he was praying
I was up the road at school
But I know my name was presented
To that God that he was talking to
And if that ain't love
This mountain's just a hill
Oh, if that ain't love
What is what they're making in that still?
And if that ain't love
The dew is gone
If that ain't love
Stars in Heaven don't shine
Driving to the drugstore
Listening to my radio
And there she is talking to me
The beautiful queen of soul
I pull her by the shoulder
It's just more than I can stand
Aretha Franklin singing
"Precious Lord, Take My Hand"
And if that ain't love
This mountain's just a hill
Oh, if that ain't love
What is what they're making in that still?
And if that ain't love
The dew is gone
If that ain't love
Stars in Heaven don't shine
Oh, if that ain't love
Stars in Heaven don't shine
